RULES of CHOCOLATE ~ If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. .. . But if you can't eat all your chocolate, it may be a sign of a deeper problem. ~ If you get melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly. ~ Problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in hot car. . . Solution: Eat it in the parking lot. ~ Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less. ~ Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices & strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want. ~ A nice box of chocolates provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy? ~ If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. . . Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves. ~ Equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is a balanced diet. ~ Two TRUTHS: Money talks. Chocolate sings. ~ The preservatives in Chocolate make you look younger. ~ Why is there no such organization as Chocaholics Anonymous? . . .Because no one wants to quit. ~ If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. An entire garment industry would be devastated. ~ Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do t oday. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. DIET TRUTHS: 1: Forget what the Lifestyle Cookbooks say: plain yogurt tastes nothing like sour cream. 2: Any recipe calling for soybeans tastes like mud. 3: Carob is not an acceptable substitute for chocolate. In fact, carob is not an acceptable substitute for anything, except, perhaps, brown shoe polish. 4: There is no such thing as a "fun salad." So let's stop pretending and see salads for what they are: God's punishment for being fat. 5: Fruit salad without maraschino cherries and marshmallows is about as appealing as tepid beer. 6: A world lacking gravy is a tragic place! 7: You should immediately pass up any recipes entitled "luscious and low-cal." Also skip dishes featuring "lively liver." They aren't and it isn't. 8: Wearing a blindfold often makes many diet foods more palatable. 9: Fresh fruit is not dessert. CAKE is dessert! 10: Okra tastes slightly worse than its name implies. 11: A plain baked potato isn't worth the effort involved in chewing and swallowing. |

In my house chocolate is a brown vegatable... Chocolate bought for others and not eaten within 3 days, becomes MY property and will be eaten immediately. Chocolate MUST and WILL be kept in my home, 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week.... (not that I'm a chocoholic mind you....  )

I would love some chocolate. I haven't had any in a week and it is really starting to get to me. My doctor told me last week that I have type 2 diabetes and put me on medicine for it. This rans in the family. But doing without my chocolate is really doing me in.
